What . . . no bottle opener?
Rick
Looks like the inspiration point for the design of the Tricorder for the Original Star Trek TV series.
A web search for “Air King A-410″ reveals several references with clear photos and more details. Apparently these things came in various colors, including brown and green.
I can’t tell you the number of times I wanted to take a picture with a regular camera but my fear of missing my radio program on my separate radio prevented me from doing so. Now I don’t have to worry, and it is light weight as well.
And we have cameras with radios today.
They’re called cellphones.
See? Steve Jobs wasn’t SO original!
Look at phones today that have cameras, and cameras that have phones. The line between them blurs. And the ipad is everything (except the bottle opener – I’m expecting that in ipad3).
